Such a fun game to play. It has a brilliant comic book vibe and lurking around as Batman was really fun. I really liked the combat mechanics. There have been many "Arkham Style" games out there but this still holds up - it feels solid, the controller vibrations are on point and it's just fun. I loved finding all the tapes and character information. Overall there was so much detail and love put into small things which made the experience extremely enjoyable.

There aren't many things I felt were weaker and even those aren't really huge issues but I think the backtracking was one. The game does do its best to keep things interesting as you retread similar locations but some of them start feeling a bit dull with some time (esp the outdoor sections that do not change that much). In addition I felt like the game could have used a "mark enemies" mechanic or a general detective mode overhaul. The detective mode was useful but it took away from the atmosphere because it changes the environment so much.
